Getting Started with Python/MoinMoin Development

I subscribe to the MoinMoin users mailing list and read an useful post by Thomas Waldmann who is one of MoinMoin's main contributors. I thought I'd share it:

> 2. I am new in Python and I want to learn how to develop the MoinMoin.

Some more infos about moin:

To begin with moin coding, I suggest you look at moin macro coding first. 
It is quite easy and you do not need much experience for it.
Later try actions, then parsers and themes, and finally hack the moin core. :)

For learning Python, make sure you do some tutorial (there are quite some on the web) or read a good book about it.

A nice python news source and also often quite educational is planet.python.org.

If you want to do serious developing, maybe also have a look at Mercurial DVCS (the version control system we use). 
It is very useful in general, quite some other projects use it, too. You can also use it for your own stuff locally.

If your goal is developing plugin extensions and fixes, use moin/1.8 (current stable) repo.

If your goal is doing bigger core changes, use the moin/1.9 (or soon
moin/2.0) repo.

Communicate with us often - that avoids double work or work going in the wrong direction.
